"Send toast to ten tense stout saints' ten tall tents". A tongue twister is a sentence hard to pronounce. Presented as a poetic collage, alternating between landscapes and portraits, this film suggests to different models, almost all american, filmed in a studio in Berkeley, to say tongue twisters in their mother tongue or their second one : english, arabic, armenian, assyrian, chinese, korean, croatian, spanish, french, hebrew, japanese, persian, portuguese, tagalog, vietnamese.
